ill have a look tonight for you, it should be somewhere

I am just looking for some quick advice. i want to order a bunch of random crap for my e30 (new radiator pipes, PS pipes and res, new gear box seals, shifter parts, tail light seals etc.). Is it cheaper to order them locally or is it cheaper to order through pelican parts? ANy input would be greatly appreicated.

And so the clock starts and the taillights flare, and they're off again, strapped down, fueled up, and bound on an outlaw enterprise with 2,795 miles of interstate and some 31,000 highway cops between them and the all-time speed record for crossing the American continent on four wheels. http://www.wired.com/cars/coolwheels/magaz...currentPage=all definitely worth a read

Your car can only fit a small or medium diff. You wouldnt want a small as they were only provided to 316/318s from memory.The ratios you want are in the 3.6-3.7 range. Whilst you wont need any special tools but the main bolts that hold the diff to the subframe can give you all sorts of grief when getting off if its still on the car.

f**k gutted i missed this i could have done with a pair of 2.5 inch wide lips

Looks clean as f**k

On the barrel of one of the original caps there is "BBS W Germany 09 24 032"

Got 4 spare full height caps for sale. Two original, two replica, replaced with 1/4 height caps. Not sure what they are worth, open to offers. Matt

That thing is hot as f**k

Looks good, im a fan

Tha's awesome, would only change the rims and tidy up the paint

Saw this on Reddit, looks like a tidy conversion. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=826372

i have the modified gear linkage here you can have for free ( just pay for postage) it came with the z3 shifter I bought off Jacko and I dont need it (as I have my m20b25 in the car). Let me know if you want it

Wtf is that thing?

I'd roll around in that happily, the rear tuck is a tad extreme for me though

Build away, i'd love to see a rebuld like this

Good stuff, smart phone support would be a nice addition

I knew that much ill be building them with the old and new parts as required After a bit of reading I think I should be ok (if not a little frustrated with not having smaller hands).

Hi guys just a quick question regarding my e30 coupe. I picked up some new components from Jacko to rebuild my sloppy shifter linkage. Is it possible to access the coupling between the shifter linkage and the gearbox without having to take the exhaust/heatshield off? I've jacked up the car and with a little wiggling I know i can access the front aspect of the gear linkage. The pin/coupling are parts in question are 14-20 on the Realoem link below. http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=...hg=25&fg=05 Thanks in advance Matt

Just pulled out the resistor for the blower motor and gave it a clean, now I can use 1,2,3, & 4 again

Pm'd

haha I didnt notice, thats awesome

Used two long ones for more stability. I source the metal from North Shore Steel, its 8mm thick plate and is heavy as f**k. The seatbelts are the only shody aspect of it at the moment with how it's mounted (as in it's mounted ok at the moment but i'd like to revisit to improve it). I need to work on that

So I've been terribly lazy at updating this. A lot has gone on so i thought i'd fire up a quick update It needed a serious clean and i spent the day giving it a tidy up. The target I never realized how dirty the steering wheel and gear knob could get, this is proof I need to clean it more often. I hit the steering wheel with some leather conditioner and kiwi polish and it soaked anything up I put on it, definitely a worth while thing to add to the cleaning list. One of the things i had to do was recover the rear parcel tray. I had initially recovered it with a fabric covering which the ladies at spotlight recommended. As you can see it was painfully sun faded. You can see how different the covered and uncovered areas are. I managed to source some backless carpet and with the help of some a dos spray adhesive I was able to recover the parcel tray in under 10 minutes. This stuff rocks (I over bought and have enough spare for another parcel tray is anyone is interested) Installed and much better looking than before, it needed a quick vacuum which is why it looks a tad funny/hairy here. It's a vast improvement from previous. The other big thing I have done but haven't written up on was installing a full e36 interior. Front seats have been done before but I haven't really seen the rear being put in. My old leather interior was damaged and ripped so this seemed a more cost effective option. A full e36 coupe hatchback interior was sourced for $130 and my ripped set was sold for $150 so it about evened out. The fronts were easy enough (there are numerous write ups on the net) but the rears were more difficult. Basically you have to remove the carpet from the back of the seat and cut a slit in the metal panel to the spacing of the e30 rear set. Do this for both parts. With both sides done they fit in easily, the side filler panels need some modification to get them to fit (mainly removing some of the copper forming rod at the back. It looks a little crinkled in the photo mainly because of the lighting but i'd like to trip the foam at the rear slightly to get an absolutely perfect fit. To anyone who doesn't know it looks factory Installed fronts Another shot Side on after a serious clean, the wheels take a painfully long amount of time, but they look amazing in the end. Final polish shot, much better than this morning. Next on the list is to install the poly rear bushings i've got, source/install new shocks, install a new painted valve cover and getting rid of all the stone chips
